Hi, Does anyone hear about HFB-209 twin turboprop transport aircraft which developed from CASA C-209 and HFB-314 airliner which intended to compete the Caravelle ?.

In a German forum (http://www.network54.com/Forum/240281/message/1090833080/) I have just found a very intersting drawing showing what is allegedly a tank designed in Germany by Daimler-Benz/Porsche in the mid-1950s for India. Here is the drawing: Has anybody here ever heard of such a...

Translated from http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/frheft7x/FRHeft77/FRH7708/FR7708c.htm PS: small edit made by Deino as the German name for that helicopter was not "Fleidermaus" but only "Fledermaus" without an "i" meaning "bat" !!
